I Seek Immortality Through Serendipity

"Go!"

Gu Yuan felt a slight sinking in his heart, but his actions did not stop. With a wave of his large sleeve, the Vast Sea Qi Seal soared upward instantly, and countless torrents of water vapor converged into a mysterious-colored water light. It was as if the waters of an entire great lake were gathered there, transformed into a black stream of light, and blasted toward the black-faced man.

"Sword and Water Cultivation, interesting!"

Upon seeing this, the black-faced man raised his eyebrows slightly, unable to hide his surprise. However, with a thought, an unusual Dharma Seal, seemingly composed of countless scales, quietly flew out and transformed in mid-air into a seven-colored scale armor shield, steadily blocking the attack.

"Go!"

The black-faced man then whispered softly, and a black jade hook at his waist gently shook, transforming into an invisible black light, heading straight for Gu Yuan to seize him.

This black light was mysterious and carried the unfathomable spiritual light of Soul Capturing and Spirit Seizing, its power even surpassing the black-faced man’s own cultivation level.

High-grade Spiritual Artifact!

Moreover, it was a high-grade Spiritual Artifact with considerable power!

With Gu Yuan’s current cultivation, he was absolutely unable to resist this black light.

"Clang!"

However, at Gu Yuan’s waist, a small jade tower quietly flew up, growing with the wind, and in the blink of an eye transformed into a Seven-Layer Exquisite Jade Tower several zhang high, shielding Gu Yuan beneath it.

The tower body lightly trembled, spiritual light circulated, exuding an inexplicable aura of being impervious to all methods.

The black light of Soul Capturing and Spirit Seizing could not advance even a tiny bit before the jade tower.

"Good boy, no wonder you have the guts to accompany my niece to Extreme Yin Island, turns out you have such a treasure to protect you!"

Upon seeing the Seven-Phase Exquisite Jade Tower, the black-faced man was immediately shocked, unable to help but exclaim, before a hint of greed appeared in his eyes.

Upper-class Spiritual Artifacts still vary in quality.

This Exquisite Jade Tower, with its brilliant spiritual light and densely engraved Dao Patterns, was clearly a treasure surpassing his Spirit-Catching Jade Hook. If he could obtain this treasure, he would have more confidence when traveling the Ten Thousand Islands Sea in the future.

Adding in the inheritance of the Cen Family father and daughter, why worry about failing to achieve the Great Dao?

"Four-Not-Like Seal!"

With this thought, his greed triumphed, and he immediately invoked an ink-black and square-shaped Dharma Seal from within his Dantian.

The Dharma Seal bore the images of many Spirit Beasts such as Spirit Deer, Tiger and Leopard, Eagle and Bird, Serpent and Lizard, and Flood Dragon. It was as if countless Spirit Beasts had been forcibly blended together, with the black Dao Seal flowing like ink, carrying a hint of strangeness.

"Roar!"

"Hiss!"

Spiritual Qi swirling, the Dharma Seal rapidly formed a peculiar phantom.

The phantom had the body of a Tiger and Leopard, the wings of an Eagle and Bird, the claws of a Flood Dragon, the antlers of a Spirit Deer, appearing "Four-Not-Like."

Yet its aura was solid and thick, its eyes lively, seemingly imbued with spiritual wisdom.

"Roar!"

This Four-Not-Like creature roared, the sound like thunder, as if a tiger’s roar reverberating through the mountains, imbued with an indescribable domineering presence. A terrifying sound wave immediately surged forth, attacking Gu Yuan, but it was blocked by the Seven-Phase Exquisite Jade Tower.

However, this roar, its momentum grand, far exceeded what ordinary living beings could emit, appeared to have brushed off a layer of the protective spiritual light of the Seven-Phase Exquisite Jade Tower.

"Boom!"

Moreover, this Four-Not-Like creature moved its limbs, resembling an elephant’s charge or a Flood Dragon’s swim, raising its antlers, carrying terrifying power, directly charging at the Seven-Phase Exquisite Jade Tower.

The tower body lightly shook, spiritual light flickered, constantly repelling the Four-Not-Like creature.

But the black-faced man merely sneered, his Mana continuously surged, persistently commanding the Four-Not-Like creature to keep ramming into the Seven-Phase Exquisite.

Additionally, the black jade hook constantly released black spiritual light, attacking Gu Yuan.

The Seven-Phase Exquisite Tower was indeed impervious to all methods, gifted to Gu Yuan as a Protective Spiritual Treasure by the Sword Fox Immortal. All of the black-faced man’s tactics were in vain against Gu Yuan.

Yet, with the relentless assaults of the Four-Not-Like Seal and black jade hook, the spiritual light of the Seven-Phase Exquisite Jade Tower dimmed continuously.

The black-faced man’s tactical choice at present was undoubtedly the most reliable and most unscrupulous method.

Mana Contest!

As the saying goes, the stronger power wins, determining life and death instantly!

Knowing his Spiritual Artifact was inferior to Gu Yuan’s, the black-faced man relied on his ample Mana, with a higher realm, using a grinding strategy to deplete Gu Yuan’s Mana.

Once Gu Yuan’s Mana was exhausted, no matter how formidable his Spiritual Artifact might be, it would become mundane.

At that time, without a Spiritual Artifact, how could a mere early stage Foundation Establishment cultivator be anything but a plaything on his chopping board?

Though this Treasure Tower was impervious to all methods, it was merely a protective treasure with no strong slaughter power, unable to break through his defenses, merely entangling him in a war of attrition.

Gu Yuan sighed slightly observing this.

In truth, the Seven-Phase Exquisite Jade Tower was not only a Protective Spiritual Artifact.

The item given by the Sword Fox Immortal was no ordinary thing. Apart from its protective abilities impervious to all methods, the Seven-Phase Exquisite Jade Tower could also capture the Demon Beast Essence slain by Gu Yuan, converting it into a Tower Guardian Spirit Beast-like existence to fight for him.

Yet, once this Tower Guardian Spirit Beast was confirmed, it could not be easily changed.

Previously, Gu Yuan was somewhat greedy, unwilling to capture anything but Heaven-Earth Exotic Species into the tower, always hoping for truly formidable Demon Beasts.

Currently, there was only the Demon Beast Essence of the Jade Water Fire-Eyed Ape within the Exquisite Jade Tower.

But, unfortunately, this beast was not in the tower at the moment, unable to break Gu Yuan from the stalemate.

Nonetheless, Gu Yuan voluntarily entered the Jade Altar, already having a plan in mind.

The situation here had not yet deteriorated.

"Dragon-Binding Truth-Sealing Seal!"

Gu Yuan stood within the Exquisite Jade Tower, channeling almost all his Mana into an ancient, emerald-green Dharma Seal within his Dantian.
